Kirk Norcross is best known for featuring on The Only Way Is Essex between 2010 and 2013.

The now-37-year-old also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2012 and Ex On The Beach in 2015.

Since then, he has taken a step back from the entertainment industry.

But he is now in a very different role, running a waste dispersal company called County Clear Waste.

The company's Instagram page says it covers Norfolk, Suffolk and the surrounding areas.

He shared a photo of himself in a branded hi-vis jacket on the platform, alongside the caption: "Hi, I’m Kirk Norcross, proud owner of County Clear Waste.

"I provide reliable, fully insured and licensed rubbish clearance across Norfolk and Suffolk.

"From garden clearances and house clearances to all types of waste and rubbish removal – I’ve got you covered.

"Professional, trustworthy service you can depend on.

"Get in touch today."

Norcross previously ran a jet-washing and drain-cleaning company called KN Jet Services in Essex, and he told The Sun newspaper in 2020 that he is happier working an ordinary job.

“There is so much bulls*** going on when you live your life in the public eye," he said.

"It can be toxic and you get surrounded by people who are fake and just hangers-on.

"Now I get up, go to work, keep my head down and earn a living with a bigger smile on my face.”
